The Pontiac Firefly was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Swift sold only in Canada from 1985 to 1991, and again from 1994 to 2001. The Firefly shared its M-body design with the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Sprint, 1989-1997 Geo Metro, and 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro.
The Firefly received major redesigns in 1989 and 1995, following the product cycle of the Chevrolet/Geo versions. Originally, all Firefly models were produced in Japan. Beginning in 1990, production commenced at CAMI Automotive, a 50-50 joint venture between General Motors and Suzuki located in Ingersoll, Ontario. A single engine was available from 1989 through 1994, which was a 1.0 L 3-cylinder. A turbocharged variant was also available from 1987 to 1991. In 1990 and 1991 a convertible version was also produced. Starting in 1995, a 1.3L 4-cylinder engine also became available. The Firefly was phased out of production during the 2001 model year. Its belated replacement is the Canada-only Pontiac Wave, introduced in 2004 and based on the Chevrolet Aveo, itself based on the Daewoo Kalos.
